Nathan had an infection, and his doctor wanted him to take penicillin. Because Nathan’s father and paternal grandfather were all

ergic to penicillin, Nathan had a 75% chance of having the same allergy. The doctor performed a skin test to see whether Nathan would react to it. The test is 98% accurate. What is the probability that Nathan is allergic to penicillin and the test predicts it?

Answer:

0.735

Step-by-step explanation:

Let A be the event of being allergic to penicillin and T be the event that the test predicted the allergy is accurate.

According to the question,

There is 75% chance of having the allergy.

⇒ Probability of being allergic to penicillin, P(A) = 75 % = 0.75,

Also, the test is 98% accurate.

⇒ Probability that the allergy is predicted by the test, P(B) = 98% = 0.98

Since, both A and T are independent events,

Thus, the probability that Nathan is allergic to penicillin and the test predicts it

= P(A) × P(T)

= 0.75 × 0.98

= 0.735

There is a 73.5% chance that Nathan is allergic to penicillin and the test predicts it.

75% * 98% = 73.5%

.75 * .98 = .735

The answer is 13. To figure this out I used 10 notebooks sold as a guide. I knew the answer could not be 10, because $27.95/10 was not a number stopping in the hundredths place (or a true money amount).

I tried numbers greater than 10 using a trial and error strategy until I got to 13 notebooks sold and found that it $27.95 was divisible by 13 to get an answer between $2 and $3 ($2.15 exactly).

A craftsman can sell 10 jewelry sets for $500 each. He knows

liraira [26]

Answer:15

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Craftsman sell 10 Jewelry set for $500 each

For each additional set he will decrease the price by $ 25

Suppose he sells n set over 10 set

Earning $=\text{Price of each set}\times \text{no of set}$

Earning $=(500-25n)(10+n)$

$E=5000+500n-25n^2-250n$

differentiate to get the maximum value

$\frac{dE}{dn}=-50n+250$

Equate $\frac{dE}{dn}$ to get maximum value

$-50n+250=0$

$n=\frac{250}{50}$

$n=5$

Thus must sell 5 extra set to maximize its earnings.

Lunna [17]

Answer:

See the attached figure 2.

Step-by-step explanation:

The question is as shown at the attached figure 1.

given: The garden is a right triangle with base 10 m and height 15 m.

We need to draw the garden such that 1 unit on the grid represents 2 m.

So the scale factor is 1 unit = 2 m

base = 10 m = 10/2 = 5 units

height = 15 m = 15/2 = 7.5 units

So, the garden on the grid will be a right triangle with base 5 units and height 7.5 units.

See the attached figure.

Wyatt’s eye-level height is 120 ft above sea level, and Shawn’s eye-level height is 270 ft above sea level. How much farther can

earnstyle [38]

Answer:

The answer is 3√5 mi.

The formula is: d = √(3h/2)

Wyatt:

h = 120 ft

d = √(3 * 120/2) = √180 = √(36 * 5) = √36 * √5 = 6√5 mi

Shawn:

h = 270 ft

d = √(3 * 270/2) = √405 = √(81 * 5) = √81 * √5 = 9√5 mi

How much farther can Shawn see to the horizon?

Shawn - Wyatt = 9√5 - 6√5 = 3√5 mi
